RIGHTS OF DEEDS

10- THE RIGHT OF YOUR PRAYER

Then the right of your ritual prayer is that you should know that it is an arrival at the threshold of God and that through it you are standing before God. And when you realize that, then you will stand in the station of him who is lowly, vile, beseeching, trembling, hopeful, fearful, and abased, and you will magnify Him who is before you through stillness, and bowing of the head ¹⁴, and humbleness of the limbs, and yielding of the wing¹⁵ , and by saying the best supplications to him by yourself and beseeching Him to save you from the responsibilities which rest on your shoulders-surrounded by your faults and exhausted by your sins. And there is no power but in God.

فَأَمَّا حَقُّ الصَّلاةِ فَأَن' تَع'لَمَ أنّهَا وِفَادَةٌ إلَى اللهِ وَأَنَّكَ قَائِمٌ بهَا بَي'نَ يَدَيِ اللهِ، فَإذَا عَلِم'تَ ذَلِكَ كُن'تَ خَلِيقًا أَن' تَقُومَ فِيهَا مَقَامَ الذَّلِيلِ الرَّاغِب الرَّاهِب ال'خَائِفِ الرَّاجِي ال'مِس'كِينِ ال'مُتَضَرِّعِ ال'مُعَظِّمِ مَن' قَامَ بَي'نَ يَدَي'هِ بالسُّكُونِ وَالإط'رَاقِ وَخُشُوعِ الأَط'رَافِ وَلِينِ ال'جَنَاحَ وَحُس'نِ ال'مُنَاجَاةِ لَهُ فِي نَف'سِهِ وَالطَّلَب إلَي'هِ فِي فَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِكَ الَّتِي أَحَاطَت' بهِ خَطِيئَتُكَ وَاس'تَهلَكَت'هَا ذُنُوبُكَ. وَلا قُوَّةَ إلا باللهِ.
